Frequently Asked Questions about Hot Melt Adhesives

Hot melt adhesives are solid at room temperature and applied in molten form through a glue line or applicator. Unlike liquid adhesives that need time to cure or dry, hot melts cool quickly creating an almost instant bond. This makes them ideal for fast production lines in packaging, print finishing and assembly.

Yes. PALBond® is designed to bond effectively with recycled substrates, including corrugated board often used in packaging. Its high tack and peel strength help overcome the lower surface energy typically found in recycled materials.

Hot melt adhesives perform best in controlled environments. Extreme cold can reduce flexibility, while excessive heat may soften the bond. PALBond® has been formulated for consistent results in typical UK and European warehouse and transport conditions making it reliable for packaging and logistics.

Hot melt adhesives are applied using glue lines, rollers or spray applicators. PALBond® is compatible with most industrial applicators making it easy to integrate into existing packaging or converting equipment.

Traditional adhesives are often supplied in bulk with excess plastic packaging. PALBond®’s eco-wrapped pillows minimise single-use packaging waste, are easier to handle, and reduce storage space requirements—helping companies meet sustainability targets.

In most cases, yes. PALBond® is designed to run on standard hot melt applicator systems. Many customers have replaced their existing adhesive with PALBond® without needing to adjust machinery, making the transition seamless.

Stored in a cool, dry place, PALBond® hot melt adhesive has a shelf life of around 12 months. Proper storage helps maintain performance and prevents contamination from dust or moisture.
